Chet Childress has been riding for Nike Skateboarding for more years than the model on which he just collaborated has colorways. That makes this Chet Childress x Nike SB Zoom Air Verona a bit different than your average pro makeup on something like the Dunk SB. Childress dips the Verona’s Elephant-toed upper in Dark Obsidian, letting the insoles serve as a spanned canvas for a handcrafted piece.
